Salmon

       Well, it is officially only two more days until I am flying into Costa Rica! I have been so busy focusing on that aspect, I haven't even realized that my classes will be starting on Monday, haha. But I am still doing what I can with family and Elliot until Saturday comes. One example is eating freshly caught salmon in one of my favorite restaurants in Monterey, CA, called LALLApalooza. Since I go to Ripon College in Wisconsin, fresh salmon is difficult to come by. Salmon dishes are among my favorite, and I haven't had salmon since I left for Ripon last August. As I was eating the fresh salmon steak, roasted on cedar planks with saffron risotto and seasonal vegetables, and then crème brûlée with fresh strawberries for dessert, I caught myself wondering how different the Costa Rican diet will be from what I am spoiled with in California. Only a short amount of time and I will know. :D
